How to Whiten Teeth Fast: Don't Brush Your Teeth Too Much Or too hard. Coffee, wine and tea are common teeth-staining culprits, and trying to scrub them off too hard with your toothbrush can also strip away your enamel, explains Yazdan. "The underlying dentin is yellow so the teeth become yellow." Sands adds that over-brushing can also cause your gums to recede.

However, poor oral hygiene also leads to yellow teeth. So it's crucial to brush efficiently to get off plaque, without stripping off your enamel. "The key is to spend at least two minutes brushing every surface of your teeth, up around your gums where most of the plaque accumulates," says Yazdan. She recommends using Plaque HD, a new color-changing toothpaste that shows you exactly where plaque is. Yazdan says it removes four times the plaque as regular toothpaste.

rinse with 50/50 peroxide and water, eat a raw apple, brush with baking soda, oil pull (swill) with coconut oil, popcorn, and believe it or not, brush with the contents of an activated charcoal capsule, and brush off. It will take a few times, and look like "very bad" teeth for a few minutes lol but will be whiter when you're done.

I knew about eating cheese, but I had no idea about eating strawberries. I love Super Smile. Using Vaseline takes me back to my days of being a majorette, when we would apply to our teeth so that we could smile continually. I also love "Dentisse," a tooth polish with the chief ingredient of clay. It is unique but works well to deep-clean.
